COLUMBUS, GA. – April 18, 2018 (wsbradio.com) An online story from wsbradio.com reports that a lawsuit regarding a Georgia teenager’s amputation is still moving forward, despite police concluding no crime occurred.*
In October 2016, Montravious Thomas, then 13 years old, underwent a right below-the-knee amputation following an incident at his school in Muscogee County. Thomas’s lawsuit, which seeks $25 million in damages, alleges that a contract behavioral specialist at his school body slammed him multiple times on September 12, 2016, breaking his right tibia. The severed tibia bone damaged veins in his leg and led to blood loss and subsequent tissue death in his right foot. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta performed the amputation, and Thomas’s medical bills reportedly totaled more than $600,000.
